Need to create a report having 40 columns using XML Publisher

Hi XML Report Gurus,
I have a weird requirement. I need to create a XML Publisher Report having 40 columns. This report would be a CSV Report.
How can i create a RTF(Template) in MS-Word having 40 columns ?? I just cannot accomodate the columns, they start wrapping down.
Can i create a template in Excel and map the data columns to the Excel columns?
I can create a Oracle PL/SQL package and generate the output, but I want to know if I can achieve the same thing using BI Reports.
Appreciate your feedback

What I did, I had the column titles in the XML file as data, like
<COL01>Employee Name</COL01>
<COL02>Employee Number</COL02>
etc.
I did it this way because columns were variable, and up to the user to pick. If you have fixed set of columns, you still can include their names in the XML file, this way you will be able to display then as fields on the template.

Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.

Creating a text output using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Recently i created a report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
Miranga

From what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,

Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai Krishna @cavaya.com

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,
Nitin

Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

Hi,
We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
"3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
"3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
Please help ASAP.

Saurabh Jaiswal

one way
value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
for example, chr(64) - @
so in xml you have code of @. sample xml is
<ROWSET>
<ROW>64</ROW>
</ROWSET>in rtf template pick
<?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
select chr(14844588) from dual

Export All rows using xml publisher.

I have requirement to show search results using region style table and should be able to export all the rows into excel with additional columns that are not shown in table region. Search results could be million rows.
I know that max results that are shown in the table region are based on value set in Profile option FND: View Object Max Fetch Size. In my case it is set as 5000. Since I need to show addition columns from different tables in excel that are not in table region, I have decided not to use export button but created a submit button to integrated xml publisher to launch excel. Now the problem is excel shows only 5000 rows. I do not want to increase FND: View Object Max Fetch Size as it may affect performance.
My question is for my requirement what’s is the best solution performance wise and assuming user could search thousands of rows and exported to excel.
If integrating xml publisher is the solution..how do I show all the rows?
Thanks SC

How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
Thank you
V.Piraba

Hi V. Piraba,
Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
Creating Subtemplates
1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
Importing Subtemplates
1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
<?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
<?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
<?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
Hope this helps!

Can i use XML publisher in a c/s enviroment?

Hi. I'd like to know whether it's possible to use XML Publisher in a C/S enviroment. We're still using reports and forms 6i in C/S. I'd like to know whether one can use the client version of XML to build custom reports (invoices for instance).
Thanks in advance ...!

Hi. my main concern is whether one can use XML publisher in a Client / Server enviroment. What this mean is :
If it's possible not to use the middle tier: the J2EE container thing?. Put in other words, keep it simpler: just use a client that process XML data (probably using 10g facilities). Use the desktop client of XML publisher to access an Oracle Database or some xml files and use this to configure custom invoice reports for example. Our application is still on forms and reports 6i (C/S). Since there are certain limitations in customising the layout model on reports, i've been advised to consider XML publisher. So i don't really need to use forms or reports 6i with XML publisher. What i need is access to an Oracle Database from a desktop client (or have the DB generate an XML file) and be still C/S. I don't want the complexity of the three tier arquitecture yet.
Best regards, Luis ...!
